In reply to Males on Lexapro - advice/answers, posted by Jimmyboy on October 6, 2006, at 16:56:45
Yes Lexapro does decrease sex drive quite a bit for me as well even on 5mg. This in addition to the delay. I have been off and on Lexapro several times in past couple of years and in spite of the side effects I keep going back to it. On 5mg I have found that sex drive does return after 1-2 months, but the ejac delay never decreases though you can get used to it.
Because of the sexual side effects, I'm currently experimenting with 2.5mg...
> I have been on a tiny dose of Lexapro ( 5 mg) for a little over a week , and I really feel that it has helped alot with anxiety , so I would like to keep taking it, only problem is , even at this small dose its completely killed my sex drive ..
